AFCON 2025
Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk has showered praise on Victor Osimhen, highlighting the Nigerian striker’s selfless approach and immense contribution to the team’s success.
Osimhen has not found the net in his opening three appearances for the Yellow and Reds. Still, the Nigerian striker has made a significant impact with three assists in just three appearances.
Buruk lauded Osimhen’s all-around game, emphasizing that his value extends beyond goal-scoring.
“Victor Osimhen’s game is very important,” Buruk said, per PlaySpor.
“Not everything is about scoring goals. You score goals but you lose the game. When he sees the net, he passes the ball to the closest player, he is not only focused on scoring goals.”
Osimhen on recent performances
Speaking after the game, Osimhen remained upbeat about ending his mini-goal drought.
“Unfortunately, it was an own goal again,” Osimhen told Galatasaray’s official website.
“I feel it, my goal is very close. The most important thing is for Galatasaray to win.”
Galatasaray are back in league action this weekend with a home game against Kasimpasa.
